Pros

Relaxed atmosphere. Co-workers are likely to help you on question, issues. All levels of local management can be personally contacted.

Cons

No significant raises/bonuses for employees. Employees take pay cuts when economy is down, management takes raises/bonuses/benefits when economy is good. Middle management is not locally based, and communication with then is often poor to very poor. Promotion is not based on skills, but on personal relationships

Pros

The company offers good pay and benefits. I also had the chance to work with many capable and supportive peers at the same level, which made the day-to-day work more manageable.

Cons

The work environment can feel highly political. The system tends to encourage people to compete or protect themselves instead of collaborating and helping each other succeed. This often creates unnecessary tension between teams and individuals. Local management also needs significant improvement. Instead of helping remove roadblocks and making the work more efficient, they often add extra processes, tasks, and requirements that do not always contribute to the real goal: improving quality and getting meaningful work done. There is a lot of focus on activities that look good on paper, but not enough support for the actual work needed to ensure quality and execution.
